“We said, ‘Are we doing the right thing fiscally? Does it make sense with the budget crisis going on?” Nunez said. “This space is already here. We’re trying to take that foundation and design (of the nutrition center) and bring it here.”

Architects are currently in the process of creating designs to turn the 30,000 square foot space into a nutrition center and dining hall for athletes. The space is expected to include all of the amenities designed for the separate facility, including a large dining room, lounge area, cooking demonstration areas and a fueling station.

The area, even, already has its own kitchen.

“We’ll use the club level kitchen a floor above,” Nunez said.
